Single input tube preamp

Supratek pre amps, great sounding.

Thanks for the responses. My budget is up to $2500. In my search I came across the Quicksilver Line Stage preamp. It's in my budget but another company I'm not familiar with. Anyone have experience with this piece? Or a similar unit from other companies. Final question: How would something like this compare to a used ARC LS25 or similar?  

Once you get to know more about them, the single tube will not be your choice.  There is a Decware Ultra on WTB that will knock your socks off.  but will stretch your budget.

avoid the printed circuit based amps and preamps.  go with point to point. Decware and Aric are top shelf.

The LTA products look perfect. My question now is whether to go with the new Velo or save for the full preamplifier. 

I own a space tech Labs qa112 preamp and super rectifier and a space tech Labs DAC I bought them all used and have them powered up 24/7 for years now and never have any problems with them. They sound great and are very easy on tubes.
